When you go shopping for clothes, you try on other clothes, but it is very annoying when the clothes you are wearing are hard to get on and off. This guide will tell you what to wear when you are shopping.

For shoes, stick with slip-ons. It is not fun to take tennis shoes off and then put them right back on, so in the summer, go with flips flops, and in the winter go with slip on tennis shoes with no laces.

Feel inside the shoe for padding to start. Then, put them on and walk around for a bit. While you have the shoes on, slide your finger into the back of the shoe to see whether or not the shoe will rub against your ankle. Lastly, press down on the toe of the shoe to make sure that they aren't too small. If there isn't any space between your big toe and the toe of the shoe, get a bigger size.

When I first put on shoes, they feel fine, but they start to chafe after about an hour. What should I do?

If your shoes are chafing your feet, then they're probably too big, causing the heel to slide up and down your ankle. Make sure that when you purchase your shoes, they don't slide on the back of your feet, but they leave a gap between your big toe and the front of the shoe. (You can feel for this by pressing down on the top of the shoe.) You can also ask an associate for help.

It's fine if you're only shopping for smaller accessories and items that will fit inside your purse. A backpack is best if you're going to buy larger items that you want to store while you continue walking around.
